Pregnancy Observations: {3rd Trimester Edition}


Morning sickness isn’t exclusive to the a.m.


You will sort of go all emo.

You won’t have all those weird cravings.




You will nest.

Any other mommas out there experience similar things?



  1. Haha, I love this. I didnt get morning sickness - just a REALLY nasty metallic/garbage taste in my mouth for 9 months that never went away. It was disgusting and made it difficult to want to eat anything at all. Dairy made it terrible! And I couldn't eat any potato product at all for about 6 months (I basically lived off of potatoes pre-pregnancy).

    I was slightly disappointed that I didnt get any weird cravings. I wanted to know what it was like to WANT to mix pickles and ice cream.. strange.

    And you're right, its all totally worth it. I cant wait to see your sweet little Caroline!!


  2. I didn't get the horrible sickness like you did, you poor thing:( But I did suffer nausea all day, every day until about 16 weeks or so. It was so bad, at times I almost just wished I COULD throw up in hopes that it would make the nausea go away!

    Pregnancy hormones are DEF real - I cried at everything too. Especially the emotional Publix commercials that come on around holidays. Around Mother's Day, they kept playing one that made me bawl!!!

    The 'Mom Club' is fun. And you're right - motherhood does create kindred spirits. I think it's because only mothers realize just how hard (and rewarding and amazing) motherhood is. So it creates a unique bond between us all. Love it:)

  3. I totally went through the emo phase! We went on vacation when I was 7 weeks and I cried multiple times a day over everything. And then, I started crying because I was crying! Everything was so trivial but felt like a major ordeal for me. Bless my sweet husband for not leaving me there. :)

  4. I had terrible sickness both times. I burst blood vessels all around my eyes, so I looked freckled and spotty, and sometimes even burst vessels in the whites of my eyes! I had to keep a bucket in the car with me, and used it almost daily.

    Nevertheless, I LOVE being pregnant. Can't wait to do it again!

  5. i can relate to all of these! and this nesting thing is serious! i am 35 weeks and reorganizing, decorating and cleaning everything! i don't think i've been this productive in years haha.

  6. Leslie! Thank you so much for sharing the contest on your blog. SO sweet of you! So sorry you've had such awful morning sickness. That's the pits. But yes....it will all be a distant memory once you are staring into that precious little face. :)


What'cha got?
